    spirit

    Genesis 6:3a And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man…

    Flesh is that which we can see. Bones is that which we can almost touch – bones which will decay once more into the dust of time.

    Spirit is quite something else: inexplicable, incomprehensible, immeasurable, untouched, unheard, misunderstood and mysterious to the simpleness of our complex minds.

    Shall we complicate or clarify by equating to our spirit the very soul of our being – a human being, that is?

    Genesis 2:7c … and man became a living soul.

    “Hi, Roger,” a fellow man greets me. He is not talking to only the flesh of ears or the sore sight of his eyes. He speaks to my soul – my heart – my being in the image of the Living God.

     God IS and we are created in His Image. In the image of His Spirit, our spirit is created.

    Dear Father God, for this and for your Son and Holy Spirit I give you thanks.

    Yet a Holy God cannot always strive with mankind, sinful in the flesh and decaying by the unholiness of our worldly soul.

     

    Increasing Corruption on Earth

    3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years…”

    5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

    6 And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart…

    Do you grieve your LORD God, o man?

    Do you grieve Jesus Christ whose Name you claim, o christian?

    Christ Jesus also speaks of ‘spirit.’ Hear the Word of God in your heart and soul.

    John 3:3 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 4 Marvel not that I said to you, “You must be born again.”

    IN Christ Jesus, by the Holy Spirit, you must be born again. The LORD God will not forever contend with your soul, dearly beloved lost one.

    Repent of your sin! Do NOT contend with Christ our LORD.

     

     

  • ‘elohiym

     Genesis 1:1a  In the beginning, God…

    ‘elohiym

     “God,”  ‘elohiym, is plural.

    By definition: masculine noun; plural or plural intensive with a singular meaning.

    GOD created (v.1) GOD moved (v.2) GOD said (v.3) GOD divided (v.4) GOD called (v.5) GOD made (v.7) GOD blessed (v.22).

    These are just a few references to ‘elohiym – GOD: He (plural intensive with a singular meaning) IS ONE and caused.

    In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God – John 1:1

    Genesis 1:1b HE created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

    “And the Spirit of God…”

    Do you see it?

    TRINITY: GOD: ONE: Father, Son, Holy Spirit

    In the beginning HE *they as ONE created.

  • Logos

    Logos

    John 1

    The Word Became Flesh

    1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God.3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

    IN THE BEGINNING was Logos, and Logos was with Theos (God), and Logos was God!
    Think of it: John the Apostle, by the Spirit of God explains creation – the Genesis, the beginning – in the understanding of Christ Jesus as both the spoken Word of God that caused all things to come into existence and as God Himself – The Existing One.
    God, The Existing One, became flesh – a man like you or me – mortal, personal and with us (incarnate).
    Christ Jesus IS the light of men. Christ Jesus, our Lord, IS the light, the only light that shines through this great darkness. It is the very Word of Jesus, God Incarnate, that is the Logos which created all before man was man and creation was created.
    Logos matters. What you say matters. What God says matters above all. See the scripture as logos is used and consider once more: we are dust! Into our dead life, Jesus speaks and Life is given.
    Speak well of Jesus, our Lord. He IS the Word. He is Logos.
    Dark days and great darkness will once more be upon us; yet Christ our Lord IS and does assure:
    I AM the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. – Revelation 22:13
    LOGOS! Christ Jesus IS LORD!
